Right Left Easter Game
Based on the Bible Story
Use this Right Left Easter Game as an icebreaker when you want to randomly distribute some prizes during an Easter celebration. It's also a great way to add a twist to an Easter gift exchange.
One way to play is to fill an egg or basket (one for each person) with mystery treats and pass these around during the story to determine who gets what treat.
This Easter party game is based on the Bible story and is perfect for church Easter celebrations and traditional family Easter get-togethers. The story has some very sad moments, so expect the tone of your game to become quite mellow then. The good news is that the story has a very happy ending, so when the story is over, you'll have reason to celebrate.
To play this Right Left Easter Game, have all participants sit in a circle and pass the gift(s), (candy, prizes, etc.) to the right when the word RIGHT is spoken and to the left when the word LEFT is spoken. The gift(s) belong to whomever is holding them when you have finished reading the story.

There were only two days LEFT before the Passover the chief priests wanted to find the RIGHT way to arrest and then kill Jesus. RIGHT then, Judas Iscariot went RIGHT to the chief priests to offer to hand Jesus over to them. They were delighted and as he LEFT they promised to give him money. So, Judas waited and watched for the RIGHTtime.
On the first evening of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, Jesus and His disciples met for the Passover meal. RIGHT while they were eating, Jesus told them that one of them would hand Him RIGHT over to His enemies. This LEFT the disciples in a state of sadness.
When they finished their meal they LEFT to go to the Mount of Olives. Jesus told His disciples that all of them would leave Him, but Peter argued that He would stay RIGHTwith Jesus always. Jesus told Peter that RIGHT that very night, before the rooster crowed twice, He would deny Him three times.
At the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus instructed His disciples to keep watch while He LEFT to pray. Jesus fell RIGHT to the ground, praying that the hour might pass RIGHTby Him.

I used this game at my Annual Easter party. I had about 30 kids at my house and this game was a good way to calm the kids down and also share the Easter story. I separated the children into two circles... boys and girls.
Each child got a paper bag which contained a small gift and an egg. One of the bags contained a golden egg with $10 dollars inside.
I gave the kids 2 rules. They had to be extremely quiet so they could hear the story and they could only open the bag after the story was completed.
The children had a ball trying to contain their laughter as they passed the bags left and right. It was like we were in an old Baptist church as it was being read.
Many of the adults started quoting along with the reader. It was a great game. It meant alot spiritually to the adults and I hope the kids learned a lesson about the real meaning of Easter... great game truly.
Thank you so much. The Right Left Easter Game will be repeated again this Easter. And, oh yeah... make sure the children are seated... Georgette ~ USA
